Greddy Waste Gate on TD04
 

Yeah yeah, I know were supposed to be making ghetto turbos here. But I've got a greddy kit for the EX civic going to set up on my d16y7. Anyways, the waste gate is set at 5 psi, I will be installing a BOV and emissions aren't a problem. So how do I go about increasing boost potential to 9 psi?

Thanks.

get or make a boost controller and put it on the vacuum line to the wastegate actuator...i made mine out of some fishtank crap, but im gonna make a better one soon

Explain please?

Re:Greddy Waste Gate on TD04
 

if you use a small valve on the vacuum line to bleed off air, you will trick the wastegate into thinking there is less boost...be careful, and open it in small degrees, testing it each time...there are better ways to do it , but this is the cheapest i know of

ah okay :)
I had thought there was something you could do to the solenoid on it.

Their is, the greddy TD04's have a threaded wastegate actuator, Turn it one way for more boost, and less the other way.

think you can get about 10psi out of the internal gate.

Or you can buy a manual boost controller and hook that up instead. Little bit easier to adjust.

Thats what I thought heh, was looking at that little solenoid and the spindle (or whatever you wanna call it) that comes off.

Thanks alot Abaz
